The Profile

Threshold are an English progressive metal band frequently described in the reviews as a distinctive blend of prog metal with thrash/hard rock/AOR and electronic elements, known for strong melodies, atmospheric keyboards, and a notably consistent (sometimes criticized as repetitive) approach across albums.

From the reviews: the band is English (also referred to as a Surrey band) and has had notable vocalist changes involving Damian Wilson, Andrew McDermott ("Mac"), and Glynn Morgan. Reviews mention McDermott as vocalist from 1998 to 2007 and his death at age 45 (kidney failure following a coma). Nuclear Blast is cited as their label for releases including "March of Progress" and as a factor in later-era production/approach.

Across 14 reviews, Threshold are framed as an English progressive metal band with a distinctive prog–thrash–AOR/electronics blend and strong melodic craft. They’re repeatedly praised for consistency and atmosphere, but also criticized for playing it safe and sounding similar across albums. “Subsurface,” “Hypothetical,” “Critical Mass,” and “Psychedelicatessen” are singled out as peak-era or masterpiece-level records. Later albums like “Dividing Lines” and “For The Journey” are seen as solid but not career-defining, with cautious experimentation. Vocalist changes (McDermott/Wilson/Morgan) and lineup instability are recurring context points.
